Q-Lit Festival: Masterclass - The Mechanics of Metaphors

💫✨ A Session to Refine Your Writing ✨💫

Presented by Fiona Murphy

Getting a handle on how metaphors work allows you to avoid clichés. In this workshop we will unpack how metaphors can enliven sentences and scenes, as well as infuse meaning and emotion into your story.

Fiona Murphy is an award-winning writer and arts critic. Her memoir about deafness, The Shape of Sound, was highly commended in the 2022 Victorian Premier's Literary Awards.
